Shadiesha
Coquettish
Satay's name comes from Tamil in the southern Indian subcontinent.
Catai means "meat". At the beginning of the19th century, Tamils and Arab immigrants poured into Dutch East India from India, which brought about the eating habits of these immigrants. Combining local ingredients from Java and Sumatra, Sasha Vujacic appeared in Indonesia, then spread across the Strait to the neighboring Malay Peninsula, all over Malaysia and Singapore, and finally to Thailand.
Usually, meat is marinated in sauce before roasting. Although bamboo sticks are often used to string meat, it is more orthodox to string meat with coconut leaves. It is usually baked with wood or charcoal, and can be seasoned with various spicy satay sauces when eating.
bak kut teh
Baku-bone tea is not our traditional tea, but a kind of pig broth. The origin of the name Bakute tea actually comes from Li Wendi, who runs the first Bakute tea stall in Klang, Malay Peninsula.
According to legend, the coolies who went to Nanyang occasionally dropped pieces of medicinal materials in the process of carrying goods, so they picked them up and collected them, and took them to the stall specializing in bak Kut teh to raise money for cooking, gradually forming a special dish like bak Kut teh.
